The ’C3x devices (’C30, ’C31, and ’C32) have a register-based CPU architec-
ture. The CPU consists of the following components:
-
Floating-point/integer multiplier
-
Arithmetic logic unit (ALU)
-
32-bit barrel shifter
-
Internal buses (CPU1/CPU2 and REG1/REG2)
-
Auxiliary register arithmetic units (ARAUs)
-
CPU register file
Figure 2–4 shows a diagram of the various CPU components.
